Most of the time I was seeing that hydra is unresponsive and guix will 
fetch the source instead a substitute, but ATM I am getting a message:

guix substitute-binary: warning: while fetching 
http://hydra.gnu.org/nar/nax41ygqk14w23nbyzfh4i23vxl3qf01-python-3.3.5: 
server is somewhat slow

but it is still fetching the substitute from there. The hydra admin should 
find what is the cause.
